You can use properties files to create, modify, or delete Java Authentication and Authorization
Service (JAAS) authorization data properties.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your JAAS
authorization data object or its properties.
Start the wsadmin
scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin
-lang jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete
a JAAS authorization data object.
Run administrative commands
using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a JAAS authorization
data, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for JAAS authorization
data properties files. You can create, modify, and delete
JAAS properties.
Action |

To delete the entire JAASAuthData object, uncomment #DELETE=true and
then run the deleteConfigProperties command. |

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create a properties file for a JAASAuthData object.
- Set JAASAuthData properties as needed.
Open
an editor on a JAASAuthData properties file. Modify the Environment
Variables section to match your system and set any property value
that needs to be changed. An example JAASAuthData properties file
follows:
#
# Header
#
ResourceType=JAASAuthData
ImplementingResourceType=Security
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Security=:JAASAuthData=alias#myAlias
AttributeInfo=authDataEntries
#DELETE=true
#
#
#Properties
#
password=myPassword #required
userId=cp_web #required
alias=myAlias #required
description=my new alias
EnvironmentVariablesSection
#Environment Variables
cellName=myCell
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to create or change a JAAS authorization data object.
Running
the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties
file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter
produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Modify an existing properties file.
- Obtain a properties file for the JAASAuthData object
that you want to change.
You can extract a properties
file for a JAASAuthData object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment variables
in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command.
- If you no longer need the JAAS authorization data object,
you can delete the entire JAAS object.
To delete
the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header
section of the properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command;
for example:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the JAAS authorization data object and its properties.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
